In years past, having to get braces was a dreaded occasion. The mouths of children and even adults were reluctantly decorated with scraps of metal and wire, leaving their smiles looking more like a set of mini train tracks then pearly whites.

Our London dentists says reluctance to getting braces is a thing of the past. Clear braces by Invisalign help patients achieve a perfectly straight smile without anyone knowing that they are using the special Invisalign system. Invisalign braces offer an invisible way to straighten teeth without using traditional metal braces, an attractive alternative for many patients. The Invisalign system uses a series of ‘invisible’, clear removable aligners to move teeth over time, resulting in a perfectly straight smile.

According our London Dentists, the Invisalign process is incredibly advanced, and technologically accurate. Unlike traditional metal braces, the Invisalign braces are removable, so patients can eat or drink whatever they want simply by removing the aligners. This also helps patients maintain proper oral hygiene by allowing them to brush and floss as usual.

Having straight teeth is about more than just good looks–it’s about health. Medical professionals say straight teeth can reduce gum disease and inflammation. It can even help prevent ailments like heart disease, Alzheimer’s and pancreatic cancer.

Your smile is one of the most important things about your expression and if you don’t like the way your teeth look, it can really damage your self esteem.

That’s why so many parents get their kids braces, but adults tend to shy away from braces because of cost and of course, the appearance. However, that’s all changing, thanks to  Invisalign. The product is invisible, but the result is jaw dropping.

It’s been a long time since Ms Kelly gave a big smile. But now, that tooth is right where it should be, and it was done without the use of traditional braces.

Using a product called Invisalign - they’re aligners you can take in and out of your mouth, though, in the end, they work like braces.

It was one of those things where there is a big need for Invisalign because patients were wanting movements done, but they didn’t want to have brackets on while they were moving teeth.

Children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from orthodontics. If you’re an adult, it’s not too late to correct problems such as crooked or crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, incorrect jaw position, or jaw-joint disorders.

Adult treatment takes a little longer than a child’s treatment. Because an adult’s facial bones are no longer growing, certain corrections may not be accomplished with braces alone.

Brackets may be made of metal, ceramic, plastic or a combination of these materials. Some brackets are clear or tooth-colored. There are brackets shaped like hearts and footballs, and elastics (orthodontic rubber bands) in school colors or holiday hues such as red, white and blue. And there are gold-plated braces and glow-in-the-dark retainers.

Adults may be surprised at the orthodontic options available.

You can still select metal braces that sit on the surface of the tooth, or you can consider clear, removable braces like Invisalign, which are virtually invisible.

This option, which was developed with the help of leading orthodontists, consists of a series of clear aligners that fit over the teeth and are switched out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations and custom fitted to gradually and effectively move teeth into place without metal wires or brackets.

When compared to metal braces, the clear aligner option has many benefits. Although the cost is about the same as traditional braces, the system usually requires fewer office visits, shorter appointments and no emergency visits for broken wires or brackets. Clear aligners are made of lightweight plastic that sits smoothly on the teeth, allowing for a more comfortable fit. Because the aligners can be removed, you can eat, brush and floss as you would normally. Invisalign Teen aligners feature a Compliance Indicator that is designed to fade from blue to clear, so parents can gauge generally whether their teen is wearing them as much as they should be.

Invisible braces are not, however, a complete replacement for conventional braces. They cannot move teeth that aren’t fully erupted yet. They are not good for severe crowding. There are other situations where the best way to move the teeth is with conventional braces. But, because they are invisible, comfortable, and fast, patients love them.

Invisalign braces offer an ‘invisible’ way to straighten teeth without using traditional metal braces, an attractive alternative for many patients. The Invisalign system uses a series of ‘invisible’, clear removable aligners to move teeth over time, resulting in a perfectly straight smile.

According to Dr Bajwa - a London dentist -  the Invisalign process is incredibly advanced, and technologically accurate.  They use 3-D computer imaging technology to create a complete treatment plan, from the starting position of a patient’s teeth, to their desired end result. Seeing the end result on the computer before their treatment even starts motivates patients to complete the process.

Unlike traditional metal braces, the Invisalign ‘Invisible’ braces are removable, so patients can eat or drink whatever they want simply by removing the aligners. This also helps patients maintain proper oral hygiene by allowing them to brush and floss as usual.

Only trained providers of Invisalign can treat patients with the system. Chelsea Dental and Dermal Clinic has two expertly trained dentists in Invisalign.
